Originally selected with pick No.5 in the 2006 Rookie Draft, the 201cm, 102kg, ruckman made his AFL debut against Geelong in Round 18, 2007. The Tasmanian-born tall established his place in the Richmond team in 2009, playing 16 games.

Graham added another 29 matches to his career tally across 2010-11, averaging 10.5 possessions and 21.4 hit-outs. He also provided a contest at ground level, averaging over four tackles a game.

The former Calder Cannons junior and Assumption College graduate will add to Adelaide’s ruck division, which includes All-Australian nominee Jacobs and pinch-hitters Shaun McKernan and Josh Jenkins.

The Crows identified a ruckman as a priority in the trade period following the departures of Kurt Tippett and Ivan Maric in the past two years.
